The recent incident of gunshots fired outside Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai has taken a chilling turn with the revelation of the perpetrators’ motives and connections. According to Crime Branch sources, the accused, identified as Vicky Gupta and Sagar Pal, residents of Bihar, carried out the attack for media coverage and publicity, aiming to spread terror. They were allegedly paid Rs 1 lakh in advance and promised Rs 3 lakh more by Anmol Bishnoi, brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who claimed responsibility for the attack on Facebook. Investigations unveiled that Bishnoi was in contact with the accused via internet calling. Pal, trained in weapon usage in his village, conducted a recce of Khan’s farmhouse in Panvel days before the incident. However, the attack was planned for Bandra. The involvement of other individuals from Haryana and other states is under scrutiny. Sonu Gupta, Vicky’s brother, is also being interrogated, as call records suggest their involvement in planning the attack.
Who is this gang who is accused of it?
The gang accused of the recent attack on Salman Khan’s house in Mumbai is reportedly associated with Lawrence Bishnoi.
